Humaninsulin suppresses the mosquito immune system, according to a new article. And while mosquitoes and malaria might seem to go together like baseball and hotdogs, mosquitoes' immunological resistance to the malaria parasite actually slows its spread among people

Stem cell researchers have announced that they have made a giant leap forward in the quest to find a truly effective treatment for type 1 diabetes, a condition that affects an estimated three million Americans at a cost of about $15 billion annually

In July 2007, IQWiG published a report that concluded that there is currently no evidence available of the superiority of rapid-acting insulin analogs over synthetic "human" insulin in the treatment of adult patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Although the Cochrane's Reviews are only accessible with a costly subscription, the Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust (IDDT) has summarized and documented those studies on its website, which can be found here.

In a screen of more than 100,000 potential drugs, only one, harmine, drove humaninsulin-producing beta cells to multiply, scientists report. Our results provide a large body of evidence demonstrating that the harmine drug class can make human beta cells proliferate at levels that may be relevant for diabetes treatment," said the study''s senior author MORE >>

When prescribing NovoLog® Mix 70/30 analog insulin, health care professionals may write an unclear prescription, or if using an EMR system, inadvertently select Novolin® 70/30 humaninsulin instead. Read on for a breakdown of the key differences between these 2 types of insulin. Before the new insulin pens came out, there were four types of insulin: rapid-acting, short-acting, intermediate-acting, and long-acting. MORE >>
